demolition

demolition

A destruction and removal of some or all of an existing structure. The process of demolishing something is usually shortened to the verb demo,as in,“We're going to demo that space next week to prepare it for the next tenant.”A demolition usually requires a permit from the same local government agency that issues construction permits.

Larry Gross, executive director of the Coalition for Economic Survival, said the laws don't do enough to restrict conversions and protect tenants and do little to limit demolition of apartment buildings to make way for new condominium buildings.
